Gird Your Loins

Gird your loins. Protect your psyche's delicate parts. Because there's always hard shit. And there's always gonna be hard shit. How you react, or better yet, how you develop proactively to deal with the never ending hard s**t, is what separates the men from the boys. Two life-altering sources of growth helped me see this clearly, many years ago. And the fact only becomes more true, the longer I march down this personal development road. It’s not that your problems go away. It’s just that you become a more highly evolved person, one who has the tools to better handle the problems that would have normally destroyed the old you.
